"I never said stop feeling guilty." He brings her fingers to his lips. "I feel guilt constantly. But I do not let it consume me. Well, not all the time." He smiles, because, like Annie, there are still some days where it is difficult for him to get out of bed. Where sometimes he goes to Archer's room with the excuse of wanting to visit but it's really only because he wants to hide away from the world with him.
"And you need not always feel guilt as I do, Annie. I have thousands of years of sins to atone for. I would not wish that upon you. One day it may leave you. And that's...what I hope for you."
